Last week I posted about the investigation into possible fraud in the NRCC. Now The Politio has more. It turns out that this fraud may go back several years and a lot of high ranking Republicans are “scared” over it. Nothing like some election year drama.
So much compassion that they filibuster helping out our vets, elderly and poor: Senate Republicans blocked a move by Democrats on Wednesday to add more than $40 billion in checks for the elderly, disabled veterans and the unemployed to a bill to stimulate the economy. The 58-41 vote fell just short of the 60 required […]
This is becoming more of a mess by the day: It never did made sense to write off the Democratic primary votes in Florida and Michigan – and it makes even less sense now that Super Tuesday has brought forth a muddle in the delegate race. Even the party official who stripped Florida and Michigan […]
Earlier today I talked about a rumor that Clinton might put $5 million of her own money into her campaign. Within minutes it was reported that Clinton actually already did that and it was last month. Sullivan has an interesting question on that: Was that $5 million included in her January total of $13 million? […]
What is camp 7? The AP has uncovered that: Somewhere amid the cactus-studded hills on this sprawling Navy base, separate from the cells where hundreds of men suspected of links to al-Qaida and the Taliban have been locked up for years, is a place even more closely guarded — a jailhouse so protected that its […]
I have been going through all the sites and found that everyone has a different total for delegates. Here is the current breakdown by outlet: CNN MSNBC FOX CBS ABC AVERAGE Clinton 818 834 845 1029 1015 908.2 Obama 730 838 765 956 907 839.2 McCain 680 720 613 696 696 681 Huckabee 176 194 […]
First off I got a new delegate tracker in the side bar. It’s based off of numbers from CNN. Going through everything, they seem to be the closest we will get to an accurate count. The Clinton campaign has to be worried after yesterday. When you consider that she only won the popular vote by […]
Right now Clinton is in the lead with 783 delegates. 590 of those are pledged with 193 being super delegates. Obama has 709 with 603 pledged and 106 super delegates. Moral of that story? Super delegates are deciding this race, not the voters. On the Republican side: McCain 559 Romney 265 Huckabee 169 Paul 16
Counting is supposed to continue today at 11:00am est. Here is the tracker for that state so we can keep an eye on it. [election 29]
Eight states hit and some 67 tornadoes tore up the south last night. Tennessee was the hardest hit: The victims included 24 people in Tennessee, 13 in Arkansas, seven in Kentucky and three in Alabama, emergency officials said. Among those killed were Arkansas parents who died with their 11-year-old in Atkins, about 60 miles northwest […]
